Swype is ok on mine, but I have installed a CSC so maybe that is your problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xyzulu:
That may be it, I never installed a CSC, don't want to either ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sergiu84:
Thanks Lenny - haven't managed to fix it yet, can't install Superuser either unless I get the apk separately.. doing a full backup now (Titanium and Nandroid), and will wipe Data as well.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Ok here i go again asking this question.. can we get this tweak into VR tweak app please

can someone check on the link and tell me what you think and if that can be done thank you

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197496

im back on VR and new version is smoother than ever...so only want to do my part by giving this tweak link and see if it works.. Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
you can get the superuser in a flashable .zip on the SU website. Just download it then flash in CWM
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
There's no reason why it wouldn't. VR 3.0 is KI3 and there's a KI3 version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes that will work.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] saifbechan:
Hi, thanks again for the new release, but I do have a few questions / points I do not understand. Maybe the questions are answered in the prev posts, but I couldn't find it. 80% are thank you posts.

Why introduce a kernel into the rom that is not up to date, not even the first day of the release. Would have made more sence if version 2.0.4 was inside the rom.

Or is version 2.0.3 specially designed for villain, because there is no mention of this version in the OP of the kernel. I do not know if i sould update to version 2.0.4. There is no changelog on neither of the threads.

Why not have a small changelog. I know many have asked, and the answer is always that you work with the new version from samsung, and they do not have changelogs.

Still I see there was a version 2.4.1 in the morning, and now there is a version 2.4.2, what is changed? Change of the kernel would make sense, but there is no mention of it in the post.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Meh tomorrow, or... You could be really brave and edit /system/usr/keylayouts/sec_key.kl, and remove the word WAKE from power key line...

Regarding adding languages, that's a huge undertaking iirc involving editing every single apk... No one nice place to just do it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
True, he just broke the only rule of fight club, other than there being no rules...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lol 2.0.4 is in the rom.

The update to 2.4.2 was to fix issues flashing said kernel, nothing else :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] saifbechan:
Lol ok thank you for poiting that out, that makes a lot of sense.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrvirginia:
np!

and i have no clue how to fix the new one. i believe it's something within the smali though. just don't know what i'm looking for.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rmourar:
Thanks a lot, I went the brave way (quite easy when you know what file to change though...) and edited it with root explorer and it worked perfectly!

About the language it's too bad, I guess I'll just convince my mother (who wanted the portuguese) to get used to european portuguese...:D:p

PS: Love the thread tag's "popn pulser's babies out, pulser sandwich" LOL :D

so just to be sure:

i just go into recovery mode

choose install firmware from sd

no need to backup or wipe cache

is that correct?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] saifbechan:
Read the first page!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
of course i read it and the whole thread in fact. thats why im asking someone in the villainrom team.

i dont want to do a whole wipe, if i can help it, since ill be doing it all over again for the odexed version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
I have a quick question.... what version does everyones CWM come up as with the new Ninphetamine-2.0.4 kernel installed? Mine still says 4.0.0.2.... however, ROM Manager (i know its not useful, but ive got it installed) says i have 4.0.1.5.... is it possible to have 2 versions installed at the same time???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jeremy:
I can't wait! thanks man :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rmourar:
Yes, that's correct
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jeremy:
I tried searching the thread to no avail-

Is the hacked camera.apk included in the full/lite version?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Im considering a revert back to 2.5

Between the browser glow, the vibration icon and the loss of the clearer font - it seems like a downgrade to me.

Sure, i could find and implement all those fixes, but is it worth it when its much easier to just install 2.5 again.

Hmm... Decisions decisions. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
you mean all the fixes that can just be found in Villain Tweaks?....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superleeds27:
How long does it take to do the Vibration remove tweak, remounted RW, done the tweak, downloaded and that, tried doing another said please wait for current tweak to finish installing

Said that for a while now!

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Says its doen, rebooted but its still there?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] illuzi0n:
gotta say ...lmao !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
All those are in VT - i didnt know.

Might go have a look Lenny. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
well all except the add UA switcher to Browser... but as soon as Pulser is free I will get him to add that one too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Ok, installed the vibration icon tweak :)

Is the clearer font on there, cant seem to find it on VT?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
I will ask pulser to add that too, should only take a few seconds once he is free.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superleeds27:
Why cant i get the Villain tweaks to work?

Have pressed 'remount System RW'

Then chose Prevent notification and vibration when fully charged, disable seperate vibrate icon'

Pressed install

Asks to reboot, i press yes.

It doesn't reboot, i manually power off the phone and power back on.

Icon still there
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] d3sm0nd:
Is 3.0 with stock kernel or custom one?

Looks like the stock one thats 2.3.5 beats everything..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Cheers Lenny, it would be easier.

Im surprised to not see APM, CRT, OS on there already either.

Possible?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
well funny you say that, those tweaks have never been added to any VR Tweaks, but I always use it myself (from your sig, so keep linking it! :D)

but I can ask pulser again, the problem with the current version of vr tweaks is it can only do one file per tweak, so multi-file tweaks would have to be lots of parts.

The next version of VR tweaks when it is finished (no time...) will be able to flash update.zips so makes larger tweaks possible.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
It uses Ninphetamine 2.0.5 as if we used stock kernel we would miss out on lots of tweaks added to the custom kernels due to no sources being available yet.

Samsung made some changes that made the newer sources worse on battery life, we won't know if these still exist in the 2.3.5 kernel until they release sources.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Hmm, i dont know - however...

Ive never touched such a thing, i just open the app - click the tweak and it reboots and installs it.

What possessed you to click 'remount system RW' anyway?

Ive tried VT on multiple VR roms and never once pressed that.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes the app auto-remounts as required, the only reason those buttons are at the top is for if you wanted to remount for another reason, without adb.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Lol.. Of course i will keep linking :)

Supports the developer, plus tells everyone else to install the darn thing muuhahaha.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MJ-12:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superleeds27:
Hmm reflashed ROM still doing the same thing, not rebooting after.

Back to cognition i think
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
how long did you leave it? first boot can take 10 minutes
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superleeds27:
Installing the rom isn't the problem, its the Tweaks.

It asks me to reboot after applying a tweak, i press yes, nothing happens, have left it for 10-15 mins and it still doesn't reboot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
then reboot manually
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
thank bud..can someone input it in the tweaks section then
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superleeds27:
I have done, and nothing changes
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Lenny do you ever reply back to queries that someone asks you mate?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
If I see it then yes, always unless it is a very stupid question
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
Sounds like you have a root problem.

Are you rooted?

Check SuperUser app.

Make sure permissions have been given in that app for Villain Tweaks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
So by me asking if a tweak can be added in the VR tweaks section is that stupid then? I know your a busy guy mate and you have loads of other guys who asked so many questions man but a yes or a no would be nice if you know what i mean..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dusnoki:
Is it just me or in VR 3.0 there is no built in root? if not which method should i use to root my phone... thnx in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gervasius:
lost root too!!!

what happend?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
I just missed it completely, either that or I did answer, either way you was not deliberately ignored.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elicit:
Not sure how you guys lost root. I didn't face such problems
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
If youve lost root > CF-Root kernel.

You may not have lost root if you had it before, just install the superuser app from the market.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
sorry mate my bad i do apologise. you did answer when auridan answer that for me and you replied to his one saying the same thing because its same build..My apologies...One question very stupid one this build of rom is deodexed right? thanks and sorry again:o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes it is deodexed
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Guys you have got root!

Just install superuser from the market!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
are people getting better battery life on ninpo 2.0.5? is that why thats the roms kernel instead of the newer revisions?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes, the newer samsung sources seem to be worse on battery life.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
It is possible that you have lost root (partial) if superuser has updated to v3.0

Open SuperUser 3 (you will notice the different app icon), and install from within the app, it will download and install.

If you were rooted, but are now having problems - this will fix it.

However, if you didnt have root and expected VillainROM v3 to come pre-rooted, you need to flash cf-root kernel and then ninphetamine 2.0.5 (or a kernel of your choice)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ghashul:
WIFI

After flashing VR3.0 I've been having WIFI problems. I have read the thread through, and seen the other WIFI problems, but mine seems to be different.

It has always been working fine, but after flashing 3.0, it'll connect to my network, and then it works all fine and dandy for a couple of minutes, whereafter it will promptly disconnect.

The router is an SMC, it was set to channel 10 I think, but I've since tried various other channels. Also it was set to WPA2+AES and I've tried changing that to WPA/WPA2+AES/TKIP. The bands were G/N and I tried B/G/N as well.

Nothing seems to change a thing. Do any of you guys have any idea what could be the issue, or am I better off just reverting to VR2.5?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes there seems to be one or 2 people with the same issue as you and we are trying to diagnose.

What we really need is a logcat of the dropout to work out why this is happening.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dusnoki:
Just installed Superuser from market and everything is working fine :) thnx for the help :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Villain comes pre-rooted it just needs superuser installing, no need to flash chainfires kernel stop telling people this!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ghashul:
Good enough?

Started the log, connected to wifi, then stopped it after it disconnected.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Hi guys

Just incase if anyone is curious i managed to get the User Agent browser to work. I know its not in the tweaks but i got it working so if anyone wants the zip folder if its ok with Lenny and the other guys i can give it and explain how to do it..i can post screenshots if you like just to prove its working thanks

Edit: Gives me FC so need to check out the solution...Il try and sort it out.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
If I flash VillainROM 3 over the previous version from my external SD card which I backed up to my external HDD using a USB card reader or do a complete reinstall by deleting both caches as well as the internal memory (not the internal SD card), will it fix my problem with the USB drivers for the phone as Windows 7 doesn't recognise the device any more.

Also, would I be able to access my phone via a USB hub connected to my laptop or would I be better off trying to fix the USB drivers by using either of the above methods in the first paragraph of this post.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dusnoki:
What modem do you use on VR 3.0? can any1 post where i can download it? i still have XXKH3...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] globalgpj:
I think it was how i went about removing the Yellow Triangle, that messed everything up.

I reflashed the CF-Root and got back the proper CWM Recovery Menu, and starting from scratch. Deleting, data,cache, delvik cache (sp?)

I just reinstalled VR v3.00 and will follow your info.

Does anyone have the original CWM xda page link? I googled but got hundreds of other pages...

Edit: Yep, it worked fine.

What method did you use to remove the Yellow triangle, so that stuff doesn't get messed up with this great ROM ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
No it doesnt.

Unless im getting mistaken between Hacres ninpo thread and this one.... Aaghhh my head!

Coming from a stock rom, its always been common practice to flash cf-root prior to installing 'any' custom rom. :)

Awesome! Just opened this thread and was surprised with the 3.0 update. I'm so glad it doesn't have the new bootloader.. Thanks Pulser :)

Questions:

1. Will the Black Theme from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131746 still work on this?? It's my favourite - much better then the later versions.

2. Also, is there any way yet to replace the signal bars with the DBM value of the signal?

Has anybody had a problem where Titanium Backup on VillainROM 2.5 suddenly says that it's not rooted...

I have a feeling that it's to do with the backup that I did using CWM instead of CWM Recovery even though I upgraded to the latest version of SuperUser (3.0)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
edit: sorry missed that you had installed superuser
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
im not as advanced as some people here but the rom does not come rooted. i tried installing superuser from the market and it seemed ok. so installed cwm from the attachment list and it says my phone needs rooting..anyway simple solution flashed siyah kernel and im good to go..all i got to do is reflash nimp now....but yeah i do agree that the rom does not come rooted...unless im mistaken and done something wrong when installing superuser...arrghh this is doing my head in :eek:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chrisjcks:
To be honest, ive no clue.

Its common practice for me to flash cf-root before any custom rom if coming from stock, so i lose track which roms come pre-rooted or not. :/

Ive been told VR comes pre-rooted, but cant verify it for you, sorry.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Hey thanks for the reply. I installed the rom and it did not had cwm. thats fine i got it through the attachment list and installed it. Then it said it needed superuser. so got that from market. tried going through cwm and it says its not rooted. tried messing with superuser and could nt find a way round it..so simple solution flashed a different kernel and it did the business for me..so as far as im concerned it did not come rooted the rom...but all is good now...other than the bloody user agent mode i tried to fix but it messed up my browser so i reflashed all over again and waiting for Pulser to sort it when he has the time:D i think im done with flashing now..very tiring..:D

Edit. Would like browser agent too!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
browser agent i tried to install it via the mod that is in the forum...it messed up my browser and gave me FC all the time...tried the steps they suggested and no luck..so i recommend wait for Pulser when he has the time....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep, hold off till I post the user agent mod please, I think existing ones cause issues
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
ROM comes pre rooted. 2.5 has superuser included. 3.0 has su binary, but I think it was for an older version. So I may need to update it now superuser 3 is public
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
They do...Been trying all day and to use the one that are in the forum and keeps giving me FC...Tried playing with permissions but nothing..So yes best to wait for you bud to sort it..Thanks man:D

Edit: No wonder it was saying to me binary empty then for superuser...Thank you for correcting me anyway...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
Guys, to disspell all the incorrect information passing around in here.

This Rom is rooted, anyone who says different is wrong, all you have to do after installing the rom is ensure you have the superuser app, that app allows you to take advantage of the rooted condition of this rom, superuser cannot root a rom. Anyone who has issues with root with superuser did something on their end that may have fouled up things.

A good procedure before installing an updated rom is to go back to the point in the thread when the rom was released and read from that point onwards, 99% of the questions were already asked and have already been answered, as that was the first I did before asking a question that was already asked.

Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Look when installing superuser from the market and then trying to use CWM it said it could not access it because the phone was not rooted. Now when it says that to me it means either the rom is not rooted or i did something wrong when installing superuser. So im going by what i know and what has happened to me...But the way round it was to flash a different kernel...That is what worked for me...But Pulser has explained and corrected me above and i thank him for that...

Cheers:D

Ps regarding User Agent stay away from it till Pulser sorts it out
